Matcha Green Tea
Matcha is a precious and mystical Japanese green tea that combines an ancient tradition with immense health benefits.
Reserved exclusively for the Japanese tea ceremonies, celebrated by Japanese royalty, Zen monks and the Samurai, drinking Matcha was synonymous with simplicity, purity and mental clarity. To honor this sacred tradition, Matcha is proud to be introducing the most authentic and premium Matcha green tea to the North American market.
Matcha contains the youngest and finest shade-grown top 3 leaves of the plant found to a very fine powder. The simple fact that the entire tea-leaf is consumed makes Matcha one of the healthiest beverages on Earth, providing you with approximately 10 times more of the health-promoting nutrients of steeped green tea.
